My Great Grandma Emma and I probably talking about her Olden Days…

I have always loved history. History of individuals, crafts, everyday items, communities, places. My Great Grandmother Emma used to tell me about her Olden Days. “In the Olden Days….” It was usually something about how they did it better, people were better, the world was a better place “in the olden days.” One of my earliest memories is of me feeling very sad, crying, wishing that I had olden days. You see, at age 4, a person does not really have many olden days. I could not wait to have Olden Days.

Fast forward 46 years… my “Olden Days” are too many to number, and more are coming at me fast. And now my kids get to hear all about my own Olden Days. When we did it better, people were better, and the world was a better place lol. And God-willing the grand kids, and great grandkids will hear me talk about them, too.

My curiosity and interest in the “Olden Days” makes me dig deeper into so many things. Especially now that I’m an online shop owner with items coming into my studio. Usually, I read about the history of whatever, and then move on. I thought it would be fun to occasionally share a bit of what I find out. Look for my next post where we will dig deeper into Stork Scissors!
